Episode Details

Township Manager Andrew Stern is clarifying that a rumored data center project in West Hempfield is still just speculation — no application has been filed, no approvals granted, and the identity of the potential developer remains unclear. The inquiry came from the current property owner, linked to the Saadia Group, who only explored the feasibility of such a project. This follows a prior rejected proposal by a Saadia-affiliated LLC, which sparked public backlash. While the township is moving to close zoning loopholes with a proposed amendment set for a September vote, state legislation to allow temporary moratoriums is also advancing. The property, once a QVC warehouse and now owned by Saadia, was sold in 2021 amid QVC’s major restructuring that led to nearly 2,000 layoffs — leaving its future uncertain. For now, it’s all talk — no official steps have been taken.
